Being asked to give the student address at Mid-State Technical College’s commencement was an unexpected turn for Baylie Disher of Rosholt. Almost as surprising as attending Mid-State at all.

But some of the classes she encountered weren’t going well, or in her words, “I could not do chemistry or biology to save my life.”
